Cardiff City are prepared to cut their losses on Andreas Cornelius, the striker whose hefty transfer fee contributed to the sacking of Malky Mackay.
The club are understood to be in talks with FC Copenhagen over a £3million deal, just months after buying the striker from the Danish club for £7.668m.
Sportsmail revealed last month the staggering finances involved in a deal that enraged owner Vincent Tan.
The striker nets wages of £45,000 a week at Cardiff, having earned £6,000 a week at Copenhagen but despite the huge outlay, which included a signing on fee of £1.25m, he has not scored for the Welsh club.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has already planned for the 20-year-old’s exit with the signing of Kenwyne Jones from Stoke and intends to sign another striker before the transfer window closes.
FC Copenhagen’s official Twitter feed confirmed the developments on Wednesday. It read: ‘FC Copenhagen to announce that the club is close to closing a deal with Andreas Cornelius. More to follow in the coming days. ‘
Middlesbrough and CSKA Moscow are reportedly interested in the striker.
